Lewis acid on polymeric carriers as initiators in carbenium ion polymerizations: Polystyrene–aluminum chloride

摘要

AbstractThe scope and limitations of aluminum chloride bound to polystyrene matrix as an initiator in carbenium ion polymerizations have been studied and compared with the performance of free aluminum chloride in homogeneous solutions. Under comparable conditions, the resin‐bound aluminum chloride is less efficient than free aluminum chloride; however, the molecular weights of polymers obtained from both classes of initiators are essentially simila
